The WirieAP WiFi Blues

Very challenging
to get WiFi, hence the lack of updates here. We installed a WirieAP
last November but have yet to get the thing to work reliably. Wirie
Tech Support has been very responsive but so far the results have
been disappointing. We can locate and find WiFi hot spots, the Wirie
connects, all looks good but there is virtually no data transmission.
Most of the time we cannot even load Google's home page. We either
have a set up issue (everything seems to be correct according to
Wirie) a hardware issue or these things just don't perform as
advertised. Has anybody else used these with success? We are told our
4 month old unit has been replaced with an “improved” model and
we could replace ours for something like $500. (the new hardware
cannot be added to our model). I don't think so. We can still get txt
and email on our cell phones so the internet will just have to wait.
